ACJD can be either managed conservatively or surgically. Concerning functional outcomes, it usually accepted that ACJD Rockwood state I and II should be treated conservatively.It is still debated whether grade III should be treated surgically or not, and only experts opinion suggest that grade IV and V has better surgical outcome than conservative. The main literature failed to demonstrate the superiority of the surgical management for functional outcomes. Despite this, operative management results in a better cosmetic outcome, but conservative management is associated with a lower duration of sick leave and lesser costs. It has been purposed by a worldwide expert consensus (ISAKOS consensus) that dynamic posterior clavicle impaction into the trapezius muscle (PICCAT) could be a predictive factor of poor functional outcome in case of conservative management.
